What do you do when these lookups return the company that owns the number but the company says that they are not in control of the number? E.g, I have one number that keeps harassing me that reports as Verizon but Verizon says they have not been with Verizon since 2024.
So in the course of trying Infuse I had to link it to Plex, which to do that they direct you to plex.tv/link (which to reaffirm what I said in my initial comment, this just shouldn't be needed, why can't I just add my plex server details in the app but that's not Infuse's fault) so I go to plex.tv/link and the form breaks immediately, with a box to input the code and a spinner saying it's checking the code I haven't entered, I enter the code and hit enter, I'm prompted to create an account, NOT sign in even though I was directed here by a link page which just strikes me as wrong, I have to click an extra thing to get a sign in form, which I do, then it takes me BACK to the link page, where I put in the code to the still broken form, hit enter, then it reloads the link page, now that's fixed at least, so I enter the code a THIRD TIME to accomplish this very straightforward fucking task, and it FINALLY links to my plex server.
And I only share this both to bitch my way to a small amount of catharsis and also this is such a handy encapsulation of the enshittification of plex I've witnessed over the many years I've used it. God fucking damn.
And to reaffirm: All the plex linking does is inform Infuse of my local server's settings which I could've just TYPED. THE FUCK. IN. With my iPhone. Sweet Baby Ray's.
To be fair, kernel crashes from running an AMD provided demo loop isn’t something he should have to work with them on. That’s borderline incompetence. His perspective was around integration into his product, where every AMD bug is a bug in his product. They deserve criticism, and responded accordingly (actual resources to get their shit together). It’s not like GPU accelerated ML is some new thing.
That's a tough issue to read through, thanks for the link. 'Your demo code on a system setup exactly as you describe dereferences null in the kernel and falls over'. Fuzz testing + a vaguely reasonable kernel debugging workflow should make things like that much harder to find.
The comment you've replied to is about the Galleri test by Grail. It tests for early _detection_ of cancer, not likelihood of cancer. Meaning, you _have_ cancer. Knowing you have cancer (hopefully early) is actionable...
You would think so, but when I brought the information pamphlet to my GP (who does blood work in office and took 2 vials for other tests at the same visit) and told her I am happy to pay the $1k out of pocket, she took a couple of weeks to research it, but couldn't find a way to prescribe it in the hospital system. Since it is a prestigious research hospital, she even found clinical trials ongoing and tried to get me included but I was too young for any of their subject groups.
2 years later, I still haven't found a way to take this test and have it's results be meaningful to any actionable health outcomes.
I believe the only thing I can do is find a sketchy online doctor willing to prescribe it, and then roll the dice on whether any related testing or care based upon the results would be covered by insurance (my doctors biggest concern)
You can do this via Galleri web site where a doctor will prescribe it for you.
It's also weird that your doctor would be worried that insurance won't cover the costs of cancer being detected early. Saving money in this situation is not something that is on the top of my mind. Worst case I incur debt and then declare bankruptcy if I survive.
Insurance unlikely to reimburse you, but its not prohibitively expensive. Some top tier employers like McKinsey cover the costs for employees over the age of 40.
Without knowing the sensitivity or specificity there's no way of knowing if it's telling you that you definitely do have cancer or just may have cancer.
Recently I have been getting acquainted with Aliexpress. For eBay, I look for significant history with over 99% positive feedback.
For Aliexpress, is there a positive feedback threshold you hold yourself to? Recently I bought some 3d printer parts from TriangleLab (which I know is reputable) but they had a ~98% positive feedback rate which gave me pause.
Just to echo sph, get an Omron device. Don't waste your time and money with the many random brands.
Omrons are accurate and reliable, and most new models like the Silver have bluetooth and with the Omron connect app will share the data with Apple Health if that's your platform, or you can just keep it in the app and it gives you trends and insights.
Also great tool, thank you
